Just gorgeous as usual. Walking thru your garden would be a little bit of paradise.
You have so many flowers of each of the colors you have shown us, are they inter-mixed in the garden or do you have separate beds for each color?

Love your variety of Trillium, our native here is much less showy. I was also glad to see blooms on your Sanguinaria canadensis...mine has been in the ground here for several years and has never bloomed (I'm sure I need to amend my sandy soil). I had a "Moon" garden at our old house and really enjoyed it!

Thank you all for liking my white flowers. Eileen, I'll borrow a lavvu for you if you decide to move in. 
The trillium is the largest of my whites. I have at least three other white ones, but they're not as showy.

They are mixed all over the place. I haven't shown all of every colour either, just the ones I had nice photos of. I have been thinking about creating an all-white border but I haven't really got room for it.

That is a marvelous bunch of white. When I see all these flowers I wonder how you have room for any other ones in your garden.
The Perry's White Papaver with the solitary bee on it was a lovely looking thing with it's purplish inner bit.
I liked that Azalia with the yellow on one of the petals. I can imagine that it was quite a sight to see in person.
Of course I found that Trillium really special. I do not know any one here with one in their garden. I think that I saw some red ones for sale a couple of years ago.
I think that this was a good idea of yours to show all these at this time. I do not have many white flowers so it is nice to see yours. I enjoy looking back at them again and again.

Thank you.
I think trilliums are under-estimated in the garden. They are very slow growers and takes a long time to form a good clump, but they start early and last long. I like them.
